    Just how much contact has your partner had with this girl? is she worried about her physical safety?

    Hi OP - I've read your other thread about your partner..... Do you think this is why she's feeling so paranoid? Some people are a bit ignorant I'm afraid which may explain if the mother had "warned off" her daughter from going to stay with you instead of / as well of the age thing.

    This may be upsetting for your partner but I'm afraid she will encounter more of these attitudes in her day to day life.

    Studying together does tend to create friendships of mixed ages.

    I think your partner is over reacting -The girl is on holiday - college is still off. She could have lost her phone, be too busy having fun.....or maybe just wanted a break from everything at home. She's eighteen - she may even have changed her number - maybe Granny bought her a new phone ...or Mum kept ringing her -and the teenage head says she can give her friends the new number when she gets home.

    She'll be seeing this girl at college when term starts and will soon find out the full story anyway.

    Reading your other thread, I'd say the girls mum has told her not to continue the relationship.

    It's a shame, both for the girl and your partner, but she's living under her mum's roof and has to do as her mum says.

    Maybe when they go back to college your partner can get to the bottom of it.

    Hi

    Just wanted to say thank you for your comments. I can see the good and the bad ones (not good choice of words but can't think how else to put it). But any way just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to read my post and help.

    Me.
